Lots has happened since I announced the company trip. Which, by the way, was excellent, and the full story including photos and video can be found in the photoalbum.OK, I might have promised to much when I said that lots has happened, so I’ll rephrase and say ‘some’ instead.First of all I’ve been offered, and have accepted, a job at another department at work. In this new job I will perform the exact same duties I’m doing now and will get exactly the same paycheck. So why accept? Because of a low workload with my other department (and a high load in the new) I’d rather have a stable job instead of running the risk of being temporarily laid off work.Last week was also kind […] Read more

Today is the day I’ve looked forward to a couple of weeks. Later today my workmates and I are driving to Oslo Airport to fly to Bergen. Tomorrow we will embark the KNM Trondheim, one of Norways three existing frigates, and we we’ll sail to Stavanger. We’ll even have some gun exercises out on the open sea. I’m really excited. So I’ll be back wednesday with a lot of pictures I hope to have published this weekend. Bon voyage!

The earlier warning that I might temprarily be laid off has now officially been withdrawn. So seems my place in my office is safe again. It looked ugly a while when my boss suggested I apply for another (identical) position within the company, and I didn’t get it. But now that the heat is off I can look forward to a team-building trip with my co-workers to the Western Norway where we will "set sail" on one of the Norwegian Navy’s frigattes at the beginning of June. Flight, food, beds and […] Read more

There’s been a lot going on lately. I’m making visual effects for a Lord of the Rings documentary, which of course is really cool. What is not cool is that I’m running a risk of being temporarily laid off from work due to a low workload (but I would get back this fall). This would cause a temporary unemployment with reduced income, which, needless to say, is not very welcome. I did apply for another position in another branch of my company, but two other guys got the offered positions (probably after a toss-up). But there are rumors that some other collegues are pulling some strings to get me back into the project I used to be in. I’ve got an informal meeting on monday […] Read more
